CALL for ENTRIES: AbstrAction

Learn more about the AbstrAction exhibit at the Marin MOCA!PINEAPPLE ma pizza

I eat lots of pizza, an odd side result of my job as a performing musician.  Common menu offerings include lettuce-topped Mexican, Greek, thick-crust Sicilian, Californian, the New York slice, the ubiquitous pineapple Hawaiian, and of course, deep-dish Chicago style.  There are many others, but these are the standards.  I love how, outside the area for which they are named, they consistently have similar the toppings that aren’t always grounded in anything more than habit.  Did you know California-style always has sun-dried tomatoes? Do you know why? Me either.  Food stereotypes are funny & often well-intentioned, but odd & often very abstract.  This next Call wants the abstract, but don’t send them pizza.  The deadline looms…

My favorite restaurant added a whole new selection of side items from creamed cauliflower to spaghetti squash Parmesan.  I love it when the old standard surprises you with a little refresher.  This next Call is a perfect example.  One of my favorite photography-specific galleries is offering their FIRST non-photographic solo show.  So exciting…

Abstraction

 

Abstract art is an exploration of color, form, movement, or other intangibles that need not be wedded to a recognizable subject. Such work is limited only by the imagination. Non-figurative art, nonobjective art, and nonrepresentational art are all acceptable.

ELIGIBILITY:  Open to all artists

MEDIA:  The Kiernan Gallery seeks a body of 2D, non-photographic work that partially or fully obscure the recognizable world.

DEADLINE:  February 20, 2013

NOTIFICATION:  Approx. 8 days later

Learn more from The Kiernan Gallery!ENTRY FEE: 8 -10 pieces for $50

AWARDS: A one-month solo show.  A feature on The Kiernan Gallery’s blog and website.   An electronic show card designed and distributed by The Kiernan Gallery.

SALES: Kiernan Gallery no longer takes commission on sold works. But, they DO still have incentive to sell your work. The Kiernan Gallery was founded by an emerging artist, and recognizes the importance of selling work; they believe that if artists are paying a submission fee, the gallery should not also take a portion of the sale. They do reserve the right to negotiate 20% in order to make a sale.
